Lounge chair with aperture and accessories

ABSTRACT

A lounge chair set, including a lounge chair, including a frame to provide support along an outer edge of the lounge chair, a main body disposed within a first portion of the frame to support a lower portion of a body of a user, a head rest disposed within a second portion of the frame to support an upper back and a head of the user, the head rest being pivotally movable with respect to the main body, and an aperture disposed at a substantially center portion of the head rest.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

The present general inventive concept relates generally to a lounge chair, and particularly, to a lounge chair with an aperture and accessories.

2. Description of the Related Art

Lounge chairs are great for relaxing by the pool or on the beach, but can be uncomfortable when people attempt to lay on their stomach as opposed to their backs, which can restrict airflow thereby, causing pain in the neck area. However, people with ponytails often experience discomfort when trying to lie on their backs on lounge chairs, as the ponytails get in the way.

Therefore, there is a need for a lounge chair that adapts to users with ponytails.

SUMMARY

The present general inventive concept is directed to a lounge chair with an aperture and accessories.

Additional features and utilities of the present general inventive concept will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the general inventive concept.

The foregoing and/or other features and utilities of the present general inventive concept may be achieved by providing a lounge chair set, including a lounge chair, including a frame to provide support along an outer edge of the lounge chair, a main body disposed within a first portion of the frame to support a lower portion of a body of a user, a head rest disposed within a second portion of the frame to support an upper back and a head of the user, the head rest being pivotally movable with respect to the main body, and an aperture disposed at a substantially center portion of the head rest.

The aperture may be between one inch in diameter and ten inches in diameter to allow the head of the user to be comfortably supported therein.

The lounge chair set may further include a cushion to be place on a top surface of the lounge chair, the cushion including a cushion main body, a cushion head rest connected to the cushion main body to be pivotally movable with respect to the cushion main body, and an aperture disposed at a substantially center portion of the cushion head rest to correspond to the aperture of the lounge chair when the cushion is place on the top surface of the lounge chair.

The lounge chair set may further include a towel to be place on a top surface of the lounge chair or a top surface of the cushion, the towel including a towel main body, and an aperture disposed at a substantially center portion of an upper portion of the towel main body to correspond to the aperture of the lounge chair when the cushion is place on the top surface of the lounge chair or the cushion aperture of the cushion when the towel is placed on the top surface of the cushion.
